Admittedly my hearing isn’t exactly bat like, so I may have this wrong but, in Lesson 7 of the tourist course the question “can you tell me how to get to x?” is translated as (I think) ¿Puede decirme como algo para llegar a x?. I looked in the vocab and there are two examples; To get to - para llegar a, and How to get to - como llegar a. So, where does the “algo” come into it? Or have I misheard?
Gracias
It’s como hago para llegar - literally “how do I do to arrive”. I think the native speakers just slipped that in without thinking as it’s something they would naturally say, and they didn’t notice it was different to the written examples.
That’s great, thanks Deborah
Puede decirme como llegar a. . Is what i was picking up on!!
Hola Tony
Yeah i noticed that this morning whilst walking. But also a few left and right mix ups lol. But that’s a good sign i thing. It means that we are learning on a deeper level and actually picking something unusual in the native speaker’s sentences 
Yes, it’s good to realise that we are hearing and processing the spoken language. I do have problems hearing, especially when it’s a language that is spoken quite rapidly. I did come across a YouTube video for learners in which two ladies were on a mission to find the best churros in their area of Spain. It is designed for learners but they use quite a lot of slang and it is spoken at a normal speed. I was quite pleased as I could understand quite a bit.
